272. What type of a perfectionist are you? The four perfectionist archetypes


Listen Later

Not at all perfectionism looks alike, because there are different motivations behind each archetype. Some perfectionism can actually be healthy ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mItTKzfiK8&t=191s), but most perfectionism can be crippling and limiting. In this conversation, we're exploring the 4 archetypes of perfectionism coming from the maladaptive side of perfectionism.

These archetypes share a common energy - the FEAR OF FAILURE. Most actions, thoughts, and behaviors are driving by fear rather than excitement and joy. When you're only taking actions from a place of what's going to happen if you DON'T do something, you can imagine the negative consequences on your mental and emotional wellbeing. 

 

Go ahead and take the perfectionism quiz before you dive into this conversation and let me know if the comments what archetype you landed on!
